Meet the HoTSoS 2021 Team:
Undergraduate Co-Chairs
This year HoTSoS has re-vamped the Program Committee to include several new chair positions. One such inclusion is the "Undergraduate Chair" position for which Divya Amirtharaj (Harvard) & Deepti Vaidyanathan (Georgia Tech) will co-serve!
About the Chairs
 |
Divya Amirtharaj is a sophomore at Harvard University studying computer science and economics. She is excited to be a part of the planning committee and learn from this conference! She first became interested in big topics in security through doing research in cybersecurity at MIT, and has since explored related fields in ethics, tech, and law in my studies and personal projects. Since then, she's continued her interest in tech and for the past eight months has worked at Intel exploring fields in ML and robotics, along with continuing her studies and research. Starting in January, she'll be taking a semester off of virtual classes to work as an Applied Cryptography Engineer at a cybersecurity startup called Nightwatch, and in the summer will be working as an engineering intern at Facebook. In her free time she enjoys playing poker, swimming, following the NBA, and being outdoors at home in the Pacific Northwest! |
